How are twins formed? I believe many people are very curious. Why can others have twins? Having twins is caused by certain conditions, where a woman releases two eggs within one ovulation cycle, and the two eggs are fertilized to form two fertilized eggs, which later develop into two separate fetuses. There are many factors that can affect the birth of twins, and you can try some tips to increase the chances of having twins. Next, let's learn how to increase the chances of having twins?
1. Find a spouse with twin genes
Generally speaking, women only release one egg per month. If two eggs are released at once and fertilized simultaneously, the chance of having twins increases. If a woman is a twin, the chance of having twins is as high as 1.7%, much higher than that of men.
2. Taking folic acid
A Swedish medical research institution has pointed out that women who take folic acid have nearly twice the chance of conceiving twins compared to women who do not take it. Folic acid supplements may increase the frequency of ovulation, allowing multiple eggs to enter the uterus, resulting in twins.
3. Ovulation inducing drugs
By taking ovulation inducing drugs, women can release multiple eggs per month, greatly increasing their chances of having twins. Ovulation inducing drugs may cause adverse reactions such as dizziness, nausea, and liver and kidney dysfunction, and should be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
4. Increase hormones
The main function of hormone drugs is to promote the secretion of gonadotropins by the anterior pituitary gland, thereby inducing ovulation. This type of medication has adverse reactions such as abdominal pain, breast swelling, nausea, dizziness, etc. It should be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
5. Doing IVF
IVF refers to the artificial process of fertilizing eggs and sperm in vitro for early embryonic development, and then transferring multiple fertilized eggs into the mother's uterus for further development. There are relevant regulations on hygiene: those over 35 years old can have 3 implants, while those under 35 years old can only have a maximum of 2 implants, in order to minimize the birth rate of twins or multiple births.
